Casa de Sezim, a magnificent house that has belonged to the same family since 1376, sits in the heart of the Minho, the Garden of Portugal, near Guimarães, Portugal’s first capital. This beautiful house has harmonious lines and an impressive façade that has become a motive of international curiosity in recent years.
This manor house’s interior has captured a style of simple elegance with its exquisitely decorated bedrooms, some furnished with four poster beds and the lounges boast early 19th century panoramic panels depicting scenes from both the New and Old World. Its vineyards produce an award-winning Vinho Verde- green wine. Production started back in the 1930s and the old winemaking equipment can still be seen.
The elegant and friendly hospitality of the owners, the pleasant swimming pool surrounded by extremely beautiful gardens and surprising horse-riding facilities make this an ideal resting place while visiting the nearby town of Guimarães.
